Unrestricted presets have more refs, expecially the anime one.
Isn't the limit 4, not 3, for 1080p 4.1?

dunno i threw a random number (3, but it could have been 4 as well) coz i lost the presets and i didnt remember if it was 3 or 4... or whatever. my memory is really short lately...

edit: the limit depends on the DPB size.

Shouldn't PSP be under PortableDevice, since PSP=PlayStation Portable right?

I think it would be a good idea including this as a note in the first post. It's better have all the relevant info there, and this question will arise more often... After a few thread pages the people will only look at the first post, nothing more...

Why not combine the 'portable devices' and 'standalone' categories into a 'hardware players' or similar category? The split between them is a little arbitrary.

jap, it's 4 for 1920x1088, look here....

btw: thanks for all your efforts, these presets are much appreciated!

btw2: when driving with Popcorn Hour, I should stick with Standalone-PS3-Xbox360, right?

i left 4 refs for HD even if some old DXVA video cards/drivers do not support 4. for the same reason i thought to take out b-pyramid but i didnt.

btw2: dunno... but if you find any info about the exact playback capabilities i can make a preset...

Using crf I have consistently noticed a 3-7 % reduction in size as compared to using a profile like HQ Slow. Using HQ Insane it only takes about 4-6 hours for me to encode the average DVD (depending on the .avs). I don't use such settings on HD content. I did once and it took over 24 hours.

Almost none, really. It's just for the ppl that want to "squeeze even the last drop of juice from the fruit", no matter how much time it takes.

All anime/toons of all presets groups have Psy-RDO DISABLED and a higher deblocking filter values.
I think anime should have 0:0 deblocking and toon 1:1 but that's just me. Good anime has detail you know.

The same can be said about possibly using psyRDO in anime to keep fine details (possibly gradients, or gradfun gradients, or even some noise).

Edit: Why is no-dct-decimate on with anime/toon. Shouldn't that be off?

1,1 is the same as the old AE presets. no one ever complained. 0,0 and 1,1 difference is almost unnoticeable.

PCH uses the same Sigma Chip as PS3 (8635) but is limited in RAM of course. I'll try to find out the max settings... lately I was driving with this commandline very well (720p encodes though):

Code:
--pass 2 --bitrate 4500 --stats ".stats" --level 4.1 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-rdo --bime --weightb 
--direct auto --nf --subme 6 --trellis 1 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 
--vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 24000 --qcomp 0.5 --me umh --merange 12 --threads auto 
--thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input"
any hints what to change (for maxing out)?
